Platinum Samples is excited to announce the immediate release of Evil Joe Barresi's Glamouflage Kit QuickPack for BFD.

Tracked by Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age, Bad Religion, Weezer, etc...) on a Neve 8028 console to analog 2" tape at the legendary Sound City Studios (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, NIN, Rage Against The Machine, Tool), the drums have been taken to the next level and have been fully mix processed without losing any velocity layers or resolution. Joe has EQ'd, compressed and performed his magic using the same console and equipment he uses when mixing. In addition, Joe patched the Kick and Snare though his classic Helios console - both through the Line Inputs to give them added warmth, and through the Mic Inputs to give a modern distorted option, offering a total of three wicked choices for the Kick and Snare. The Glamouflage Kit QuickPack also includes well over 1,200 new grooves in both BFD2 and BFD 1.5 format.

The Glamouflage Kit QuickPack is available now for $89.99.

KRK Systems has just launched an updated version of its 10" recording subwoofer. The new KRK10s incorporates a sleek industrial design that matches the company's recently launched RokitG2 monitors, as well as significant feature enhancements.

The industrial design of the KRK10s leverages KRK's research and development into baffle design and fabrication. The subwoofer's curved front matches the Rokit and VXT monitors' diffraction reducing shape. It is also a great addition to other active or passive monitor setups, thanks to its integrated, adjustable crossover and numerous back-panel connection options.

Additionally, updated electronics include a ground-lift switch for combating less than perfect electrical and audio grounding and a bypass footswitch that allows the subwoofer and crossover to be easily enabled and disabled. The bypass footswitch allows users to easily switch a mix from stereo or 2.1/5.1 sound environments. Improved amplifier heat sinking results in lower distortion at high power levels and the KRK10s has a lower noise floor than its predecessor.

The KRK10s replaces the existing RP10s subwoofer. The new KRK10s is priced at $399, and is available now at leading music retailers around the world.
